As many Nigerian groups continue to condemn the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority's purchase of two BMW armored cars for the personal use of Aviation Minister Stella Oduah at the cost of $1.6 million, an investigation by Saharareporters has revealed that the Presidency has blocked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from prosecuting officials of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) found to have engaged in reckless and troubling acts of financial impropriety, fraud and embezzlement.
According to our investigation, FAAN, a sister agency to NCAA, is enmeshed in a culture of fraud and corrupt practices. An investigative staff at the EFCC told SaharaReporters that the abuses at FAAN include excessive expenditure on generator repairs, the embezzlement of training funds, and the use of agency funds to purchase expensive gifts, including cars, for the minster, Ms. Oduah.
